The Best-Selling Grafana eBooks of All Time

A comprehensive introduction to help you get up and running with creating interactive dashboards to visualize and monitor time-series data in no time. Key Features. Install, set up, and configure Grafana for real-time data analysis and visualization Visualize and monitor data using data sources such as InfluxDB, Prometheus, and Elasticsearch Explore Grafana's multi-cloud support with Microsoft Azure, Amazon CloudWatch, and Google StackdriverBook Description. Grafana is an open-source analytical platform used to analyze and monitoring time-series data.

This beginner's guide will help you get to grips with Grafana's new features for querying, visualizing, and exploring metrics and logs no matter where they are stored. The book begins by showing you how to install and set up the Grafana server. You'll explore the working mechanism of various components of the Grafana interface along with its security features, and learn how to visualize and monitor data using, InfluxDB, Prometheus, Logstash, and Elasticsearch. This Grafana book covers the advanced features of the Graph panel and shows you how Stat, Table, Bar Gauge, and Text are used. You'll build dynamic dashboards to perform end-to-end analytics and label and organize dashboards into folders to make them easier to find. As you progress, the book delves into the administrative aspects of Grafana by creating alerts, setting permissions for teams, and implementing user authentication. Along with exploring Grafana's multi-cloud monitoring support, you'll also learn about Grafana Loki, which is a backend logger for users running Prometheus and Kubernetes. By the end of this book, you'll have gained all the knowledge you need to start building interactive dashboards. What you will learn. Find out how to visualize data using Grafana Understand how to work with the major components of the Graph panel Explore mixed data sources, query inspector, and time interval settings Discover advanced dashboard features such as annotations, templating with variables, dashboard linking, and dashboard sharing techniques Connect user authentication to Google, GitHub, and a variety of external services Find out how Grafana can provide monitoring support for cloud service infrastructuresWho this book is for. This book is for business intelligence developers, business analysts, data analysts, and anyone interested in performing time-series data analysis and monitoring using Grafana. Those looking to create and share interactive dashboards or looking to get up to speed with the latest features of Grafana will also find this book useful. Although no prior knowledge of Grafana is required, basic knowledge of data visualization and some experience in Python programming will help you understand the concepts covered in the book.

Program edge devices by learning low-code programming and essentials of IoT systems. Key Features. ● In-depth practical demonstration of the IoT architecture with numerous examples. ● Includes graphical illustrations and uses of popular full-stack tools. ● Access to hardware components and software packages to build powerful IoT systems. Description. Learn IoT Programming with Node-RED is an excellent source of practical knowledge for developing a successful Internet of Things system, starting with the very first step of programming a Raspberry Pi, and using numerous open-source software development tools.

To begin, the book will provide you with a practical experience of visual programming, fundamentals of Node-RED, and the architecture of an Internet of Things system. The book covers data collecting capabilities and the development of real-time streaming functionalities. The book describes how to set up an Internet of Things infrastructure, manage software development, and integrate physical devices. The book provides IoT projects based on temperature and humidity data recorded as time series. It teaches you how to design the software using a simulated model of the hardware and use the same code to execute it in the actual hardware. Node-RED, Pusher, InfluxDB, and Grafana are some of the professional tools you will learn in this book. After reading the book, you will gain the knowledge to create your own applications that will be connected to the physical environment by means of a range of sensors. What you will learn. ● Create IoT systems with NodeRED visual programming. ● Learn to transfer data from IoT devices to machines for analysis using Pusher, a free platform. ● Store time-series data streams to InfluxDB. ● Use NodeRED to process data and execute statistical calculations on the remote machine. ● Create user-friendly Grafana dashboards for environmental monitoring. Who this book is for. IoT engineers, roboticists, and embedded system programmers who are interested in learning low-code development and programming hardware devices may benefit from this book. Prior knowledge of Linux and Raspberry Pi may be helpful. Table of Contents. 1. Introduction to IoT Applications and Their Software Architecture. 2. Getting Started with NodeRED. 3. Data Acquisition and Real-time Streaming. 4. Real-time Data Processing with NodeRED. 5. Storing and Graphing Data Streams with InfluxDB and Grafana. 6. The IoT Hardware Package. 7. The IoT Software Package.

If you've heard about the Raspberry Pi you may know that it provides a fantastic method to learn about using a computer and to develop some skills that go beyond the basics.It has the ability to provide a bridge between the sometimes abstract computing environment and the physical world. In this case we are going to use it to set up a monitoring 'stack' consisting of the software platforms Prometheus and Grafana. This will allow us to measure and monitor a range of different aspects of computing technology including developing your own specialised monitoring.What sort of things will we learn?Good question!

- What sort of versions of the Raspberry Pi are there?- What hardware do I need to get it up and going?- What sort of operating system do I need and how do we install it.- How do we install and configure Prometheus and Grafana- How do we do [Insert any number of cool things]?Is this book for you?It's not written for experts. It's put together as a guide to get you started if you're unsure about how to make the first move with a Raspberry Pi and/or Prometheus and GrafanaWhy has the book been written?Because in the process of learning things, it's a great way to remember them if you write them down :-).Writing about how to do cool stuff with computers means that we're accumulating ways to help ourselves out when the going gets tricky. Making a book out of the information is a no-brainer since that way more people benefit from the process.So I hope you get something out of the book, please excuse the sometimes light-hearted conversational manner in which I approach the topic and enjoy the Raspberry Pi!Enjoy.
